Do Nothing Machine

How to do nothing with this DO NOTHING machineFor a 2012 Christmas white elephant gift I built this Do Nothing machine. It has a body of Oregon Douglas Fir but the handle is made from a fig branch turned on my drill press since I didn’t own a lathe at the time. Note the “start” and “stop” buttons on the side. I also made a silly little video to show the gift receiver how to do nothing with the Do Nothing machine.

But ellipses are the best form of doing nothing! Not round, like doing something exactly the same again. Not square, for who wants to be square? But elliptical? it’s always coming at you with a different angle. Those that don’t understand really don’t give a fig, or even know how to turn one. So there.Fine work Dale, it just needs an added pause button so that one can momentarily catch their breath.gene
